Hey everyone. I am 12 years old, and I am planning on starting some game programming. I know Some C++ already. Should I use DOS Game Programming at first or Windows Game Programming at first? Right now in DOS I know how to get my programs into Graphics Mode, and I know hot to plot some pixels n' stuff. I use Borland Turbo C++ 3.1. In windows, I literally memorized how to make a Window. I use Microsoft Visual C++ for that. What type of game programming should I start with? DOS or Windows? Thanks. :cool:

Start with DOS. It is always best to start with DOS and then move to Windows. Everyone has their own opinion and everything, and everyone has their own style, but I highly suggest you start with DOS. 13h is an EXCELLENT starting mode.

Thanks, Dave! You are the reason I know how to get into 13h mode, because I read a reply you gave to someone!
